Wen Baozhu was in a daze, but she had learned to be obedient. Her voice was as sweet as if soaked in sugar. "I missed you."
Whether she actually missed him or not, saying "I missed you" was always the right answer.
"Why don't I feel it?" The man wasn't that easy to deceive.
Wen Baozhu couldn't bring herself to say those cheesy words. Instead, she spread her arms and hugged the man's solid back tightly.
She nestled her face against his chest, absorbing his warmth, wishing she could hold on forever.
Fu Lian had seen a lot of people. He knew that Wen Baozhu's actions were just to please him deliberately, but he still felt delighted.
He actually didn't mind whether it was from the bottom of her heart or just for show.
It was actually very simple to please Fu Lian: be obedient and submissive.
"If Baozhu is always this sensible, how could I bear to stay away from you for so long?" He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.
Fu Lian really liked this action. It represented his indulgence and spoiling of Wen Baozhu.
This action also hinted to Wen Baozhu that he wouldn't hold the previous things against her.
Fu Lian got up and walked into the bathroom to take a shower. When he came back and saw Wen Baozhu's smooth back, his eyes darkened. He pulled her and made her sink into another round.
The intense and overwhelming experience, with sudden accelerations and slowdowns, made Wen Baozhu feel as if she was constantly on the verge of her limits.
Until Wen Baozhu couldn't take it anymore. She gasped heavily, shook her head, and gritted her teeth tightly.
Until screams and growls sounded simultaneously, the room gradually fell silent...
She was covered in sweat, and the bedsheet was soaked. She didn't even want to move a single finger.
"Baozhu, go take a shower."
Where did Wen Baozhu have the strength? She buried herself in the quilt, trying to evade Fu Lian's order.
Fu Lian laughed. He really disliked the mess and embarrassment. In the end, he carried her into the bathroom himself.
The next morning, Wen Baozhu was woken up by the sunlight shining through the window.
She turned over groggily, wanting to bury her face in the pillow and continue sleeping. But accidentally, her finger touched a warm chest.
Wen Baozhu opened her eyes almost instantly.
Fu Lian turned to look at her. Seeing the shock and disbelief in her eyes, he asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Baozhu said, "...Mr. Fu isn't going to work today?"
Looking at the sunlight outside, it should be past ten o'clock.
"I'm a human, not a machine. I need time to rest too." Fu Lian chuckled. "You're allowed to sleep in, but I'm not allowed to work from home?"
Wen Baozhu shook her head, indicating that she didn't mean that.
She got up and dressed. Just as she was about to go downstairs for breakfast, Fu Lian pointed to the desk in the room. "Aunt Jiang went out to buy groceries. Your breakfast has been brought in."
Wen Baozhu was flattered. "Did Mr. Fu bring it in for me himself?"
Fu Lian said, "Do you think I'd let an outsider into this room?"
Wen Baozhu was extremely embarrassed.
She walked to the window. First, she opened the window to ventilate and disperse the amorous atmosphere in the room. Then she picked up the pillow on the floor and put it on the shelf beside.
After tidying up, she sat down at the table and started having breakfast.
Fu Lian was sitting against the head of the bed with a laptop on his lap, browsing the latest reports of the Fu Group.
The atmosphere in the room was quiet and peaceful.
After finishing his work, Fu Lian closed the laptop and looked at Wen Baozhu sitting at the table.
She seemed to be very serious about everything she did. For example, when having breakfast, she was very careful. She held the sandwich in her hand without dropping a single crumb.
She had excellent table manners.
Fu Lian stared at her for a while and then casually started a conversation. "What have you been doing lately?"
It was just a casual question.
Wen Baozhu immediately put the sandwich back on the plate. After chewing the food in her mouth, she answered clearly, "I went to the Wong Tai Sin Temple. I also met Miss Fang and your little aunt."
"Your little aunt was very nice to me that day. She always ignored Miss Fang." Wen Baozhu was a little cautious when speaking, afraid of making Fu Lian angry.
But Fu Lian didn't show any reaction. "Don't worry about her."
Wen Baozhu tried to understand the meaning behind his words but couldn't figure it out. "Don't you need to consider your little aunt, Mr. Fu?"
This was the first time she had actively asked about the Fu family.
Right after she said that, she was worried about repeating the previous mistake. She quickly added, "If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to."
Fu Lian laughed. "You don't have to be so cautious. There's nothing we can't talk about between us."
It would be too naive to take this seriously.
After the previous unpleasant experience, Wen Baozhu had learned her lesson. Making the same mistake twice would be really stupid.
Fu Lian lifted the quilt, got up, and sat on the edge of the bed. He hooked his finger at her.
They had developed a tacit understanding. Wen Baozhu knew what he meant without him saying anything. She walked over and sat directly on his lap.
Feeling the fullness in his arms, Fu Lian pulled at his lips in satisfaction and didn't intend to avoid the topic. "My little aunt and my father are siblings. But my grandfather favored sons over daughters and didn't value my aunt since she was a child."
"Even among the many profitable businesses under the Fu Group, grandfather handed most of them over to my father to inherit. He only gave her the charity sector and some auction items, clearly indicating that he didn't intend to let her inherit the Fu Group."
Wen Baozhu was held in his arms, listening to the gossip within the wealthy family. She felt shocked.
"A few years ago, after my father passed away, the power of the Fu Group was up for grabs. Naturally, my little aunt was eager to take the opportunity to seize power. She has played a lot of tricks in these years."
He held Wen Baozhu's hand and noticed that her hand was so small that he could cover it with one hand.
"Unfortunately, she's a stupid woman." Fu Lian's eyes darkened. He said disdainfully, "Greed will make a snake try to swallow an elephant. Sometimes, one's ability doesn't match their desires and ambitions."
"But many people always ignore this and dig their own graves."
To Fu Lian, Fu Shuyi wasn't worthy of being his opponent, but she could be a useful tool.
Wen Baozhu pursed her lips. Her eyes were bright and moist.
"Do you have something to ask me?"
Wen Baozhu lowered her head. "...Can I ask?"
She was very conflicted and nervous because she wasn't sure if Fu Lian would get angry like last time after she asked.
The man's voice was gentle. It came from above her head. "Today, our Baozhu can ask any question."
This kind of indulgence and spoiling gave Wen Baozhu the courage.
"Mr. Fu, after the old master passed away, you're the eldest son of the Fu family and the most influential person. And now Fu Nian has died young... Shouldn't the power of the Fu family be in your hands? Why would you give others the opportunity to covet it?"
After saying that, her heart was pounding.
She knew very well the meaning behind these words: she was just a puppet, a fertility tool, and an insignificant character.
Asking this kind of question was even more outrageous and over the line than last time.
She was really scared by the last time. She quickly added, "Mr. Fu, if you don't want to answer, you don't have to. But please don't take it out on me again."
However, Fu Lian wasn't angry.
He just rested his chin on her head and gently kneaded Wen Baozhu's fingers with his big hand. "Baozhu, you've only been in Hong Kong for a few months, but you're so concerned about my situation. I'm very touched."
Wen Baozhu looked up and met his eyes.
"But unfortunately, I don't know how to answer you."
Fu Lian said it very calmly, but there was a kind of loneliness in his breathing.
Wen Baozhu had never seen Mr. Fu like this before.
He smiled, but there was a hint of irony in his smile. "It's quite ridiculous, isn't it? The things that should belong to me, I still have to fight for."
"Baozhu, please don't laugh at me."
